WHERE ARE THE GIRLS FOLIS.. OF THE DAY AS 1LLUSTRAT ED BY CONDUCT IN PUBLIC. Something for Careless Mothers to Read The Danger of Flirtation-Comment of the Wise-Spiders on the Watch for Foolish Flies. (From a Sermon by Dr. Talmage.) In a Pullman sleeper the other night I watched an affecting parting between a young woman and her sweetheart. She was a bouncing maiden of the Daisy Millerr type-he an insignificant looking young dude with caterpillar colored fuzz on his upper lip and a hat two or three sizes too small for his small head. The agony of parting almost overcame them. Their sweet sorrow was long drawn out. Their lips clung together in many long kisses, while he whispered airy nothings in her ear and embraced her repeatedly, and she wept andsobbed into her freshly ironed handkerchief. The eyes of every one in the car were upon them, and cynical and ecoffing re marks were plenty. At last they tore themselves apart. The eastern bound express rolled out of the depot, the passengers settled . themselves for the journey and the young Pullman conductor made his first appearance with great brilliancy and eclat. How it happened I cannot tell, for my thoughts were busy elsewhere, -bta eralittle I raised my eyes and Jol -Oholly" was forgotten. Daisy's team were dried and she was conducting, according to the best knowledge and most anthentic rules of the game, a suc ceesful flirtation with the young con ductor. She giggled, she made eyes, she frowned prettily, .she was so charm ingly helpless about the window, she - must have water and oranges, and the dickens knows what, and the railway fledgeling was at her beck and call. Next morning the flirtation made per ceptible progress. Daisy went to break fast with gilt buttons and blue clothes, and what there was inside of them. She donned her ulster and the big flaring Gainaborough and went out and rode upon the platform "to look at the scenery," which consisted mainly of flat meadows, freshly plowed, and was ac cordinly of surpassing beauty. She tlkedas thetopof her lungs, and in formed the other passengers that now she guessed she'd better wash her hands, and anon she guessed she'd have a pil low. This being brought, she made grtat use of it for the further subjuga tion of the unhappy conductor, for, taking it, she posed upon it such effec tive attitdes as to win glances of ap proval and speeches of admiration from the infatuated, hopelessly besotted youth. In fact, for several hundred miles Daisy formed the staple amuse ment for a car full of passengers. Being delayed for several hours in an out-of-the-way town on the following day, I watched the gradual unfolding of mnother sudden attachment. Daisy the second was also traveling alone. She wasa preaty girl, but bad a look of bease, full bloom coquetry-in her eyes. Aman who certainly looked old enough to know better, a man with wrinkled facs and blase eyes, made her a ' nt anoe.

To the mothers I would say pretty abarply: "Why in the name of common sense don't you let your temperance leecre and your table cloths,.your jelly and your heathen's flannel sirts, your covenant meetings and the flies go, and look after your daughters a little better?

He Used to Be One Himself, and He Knows the Ropes. (From the New York World.) The New York postoffice is a large, dignified building, situated right where the roads fork; being the place where you turn off to the right from the main traveled road in order to get to the bridge. It is used partly for a postoffice and partly for court house, so that one end of the building practically pays the expenses of the other end. A sel sup porting postoffice and court house here, where competition is hot and rents high, would naturally show that times are good and money plenty. Mail comes here from all foreign countries and Europe also. It is distri buted at once, and one is permitted to mail a letter at any time, day or night. It's wonderful. In tall buildings now there is an arrangement by which one may shoot his letters into a runaway or flume, and they will be carried into a United States mail box on the ground floor, where a trustworthy young man m a speckled straw helmet comes and fills his valise with them, after which he carries them away to the postoffice and personally uses his influence with the postmaster to have them sent away by the early train. I stood near the small box at the bottom of the chute in the Standard Oil building the other day, and I remained there 10 or 15 minutes I counted forty nine letters as they were laid, one by one, hot from the crackling typewriters above, and all no doubt reeking with the bloody and startling statement, coming like a peel of thunder from an unpeeled sky, "Dear Sir-Your esteemed favor of the -th inst.(or ult. or prox.) is before me. In reply would say," etc. There's just about as much use in this opening as there would be in stating that "We take our pen in hand," or in opening aprayer by reading the minutes of the previous meeting. The New York postoffice is directly connected with the dead letter office at Washington, and those who have never corresponded with that prosperous mdrgne have missed a good deal. The dead letter office is, after all, a great boon, though it does not return come things which reach it. A man in Saginaw, Mich., mailed a pair of dress shields by mistake which he had bought for his wife, and though that was two years ago come July they have never been returned. Another man in Nash ville, Tenn., erronerously mailed a porous plaster which was almost as good as new, and though he has threatened to go down there to Washington and iden tify it and expose the whole system of the dead letter office till he got his prop erty back, nothing as yet been done about it. Ten years ago, even, there were 3,000, 000 letters sent to the dead letter office in one year, of which 58,000 had no county or state, 400,000 lacked stamps, and 3,000 were posted without any ad dress at all. Ninety-two thousand dol lars in cash and over $3,000,000 in drafts were contained in these letters. It ap pears that right straight through every letter sent to the dead letter office con tains on an average $1, so mine really fell below the average. Queer things happen to letters even when they do not get to Washington. A Wyoming postmaster used to claim that circular letters, unsealed, if not called for with a day or two, were good things to use in starting the fire. He therefore kepta coal hod near the general delivery, whchonstituted alittleprivate dead letter offce for his own special use. One day his children were playing tag with each other inside the postoffce and canceling each other's nose with the M. 0. B. stamp, when suddenly they deci ded to investigate the coal hod in search of advertising cards. In each of the two lrecircular envelopes they found a salrsealed letter which had worked in by shoving a large mass of letters to gether for cancellation. The children had torn these two letters ope and were playing Fourth of July and Baly Bound the Flag, Boys, with a $79 check and a $600 draft when the old gentleman looked up. Justice compels me to say, however, that he spanked the children soundly for his careleanea and refused to let them have fun with his dead letter offie after that. Brra Niu. P. 8.-Sinee the above was written a white woman's scalp has been received at the dead letter offee. Thelady, in an absent minded way, forgot to mail her self, andasccording to the rules of the offie she cannot now recover it. B. N. Dr. Tanner's Rival. R~cINE, Wis., July 10.-A large num ber of people visited John Zschar, the Cal edonisn faster, yesterday. It was the fif tieth day of his remarable fast. Zachar talked pleasantly with his visitors on all subjects but that of his fast. On that he enjoined silence. He has grown perceptibly weaker in the last three days, his eyes have a tired look, the lids droop, and his voice is very weak. He still has strength enough to walk from the house.to the tree, under which he can be found at any hour of the day.. There he dozes off, sleeping but a short time. He appears to suffer no pain. Dr. Noyes says that he found Zachar's pulse at forty-five, his tongue clear and his mind apparently unclouded. The doctor believes that his fast is genuine. Dr. Hay says that the case possesses no value what ever to science, as there is not proof that 9:ahar had not eaten food during the last fifty-one days. Zachar's relatives, how ever, insist that he has not partaken of food of any nature. A Horrible Grave Robbery. CHAwMnEsBUnG, Pa., July 12.--A hor rible grave robbery was committed on Tuesday night at Mowersville, a few miles from here. The grave desecrated was that of a wealthy farmer named Hoover, who died nearly two years ago. Over the grave a handsome monument, weighing 2.000 pounds, had been placed. This was under mined and partly moved, the grave opened and the coffn dragged out. The face of the corpse was badly mutilated by a crow bar used in breaking open the coffin. The object was plunder, as Mr. Hoover had been wealthy and eccentric, and it was re ported that a large sum of many had been buried with him in his coffin. The thieves carried away the heavy silver plate and handles of the cesket, but left the body. A heavy reward will be offered for their arrest. Always out on the fly-Seagulls. "Where are our boys?" frantically shrieks an exchange. We can tell: Ours has just beaten 'em by a score of 13 toO, and they're licking the umpire. Don't worry-they'll be home before dark. The congregation was dismissed, and, as usual, a company of women were stand g about the doorway talking and laugh) ing. Soon a young man acquainted with the group approached, saying, "A&ren't you ever going home? You are blocking up the way like Baalam's ass." "You are wrong there," replied a young lady, with a toss ofthe head. "It was the angels who blocked the way, anad the ass made a fuss abot itr" DEMOCRATIC UNITY IN NEW YORK. Good Chances for a Settlement of All Ap parent Differences. Nnw YoRK, July 9. -The question of local Democratic unity is just now the )vershadowing political topic. A Mayor, Board of Aldermen and county officers re the bone of contention. Tammany Hall, which has not had a Mayor of its own for these many years, insists that this is a good year for their wigwam to name the candidate. The aspect is entirely different through county Democracy spectacles. That organizations declares that it is strong enough to elect its Individual candidate, with both Tammany and Republican tick ets in the field. The leaders complain that Tammany with the $50,000 a year shrieval ty, County Clerkship (worth nearly as much) Presidency of the Board of Alder men and various other local offices, already has more than its due share of the official plums. All these they are willing to con cede to Tammany in this year's partition, but when it comes to the Mayoralty they emphatically draw the line. The Star has been industriously sound ing the opinions of the leaders in both or ganizations on this matter, particularly with reference to its possible effect on the the city vote for the National ticket. Va rious views have been advanced. Some of the best known of the local pol iticians, of both Tammany and the counties, warmly advocate local unity, no matter to whom the prizes may go. Two Democratic tickets in the field, they say, would have a dispiriting effect on the outside Democracy, and would end in trades and dickers which could do the National ticket no good. This seems also to be the generally accepted view outside of New York, where these little factional differences are watched with the same interest as here, and for obvious reasons. Yet there are not wanting astute political managers who take a radically different view of the matter, and are just as em phatic in their advocacy of separate tickets. To begin with they assert, and with entire truth, that local Democratic success will not be imperriled by seperate tickets, as the voting strength of either organization is far in excess of that of the Republicans. Their argument, though, rests mainly on the claim that rival Democratic tickets would put the two evenly balanced organ izations on their mettle as nothing else could, and bring to the polls thousands of voters who might otherwise absent them selves. They scout the idea that there would be any trading of the Presidential ticket, but insist that it would gain ma terially by reason of the fuller vote. In support of their claims they refer to the State election of three years ago.. Each of the factions had full local tickets in the field at that time and the alarmists declared that Gov. Hill would be caught between the two and traded to death. The con trary proved to be true, as he polled a magnificent vote. Whichever way the local Democratic cat may jump there will be cold comfort for the Republicans in the Empire State. The sporting "brother hood" are offering two to one to that the State will be Democratic and that Cleve land and Thurman will be elected. Even at these odds the offer has few takers. New of Indiana. who with Dudley seems to have been almost entirely responsible for Harrison's nomination, came to town yes terday, and the local bosses have had their heads together all day. Rama says that Banker Morton has given out to the man agers that his big "bar'l" will positively not be put on tap unless his friends are en trusted with the engineering of the cam paign. Morton is said to have an intense dislike for New and the Indiana type of Republicans. He pins his faith to Steve Elkins, as Blaine did four years ago, and that worthy political juggler is known to sha.e his prejudices against the Indiana contingent. Hence New's visit. Local Republican leaders say that Elkins and Platt will carry their point and that the skirmishers of the Western reserve will be told by the National Committee to take care of their own little fences. Elkins him self is just now invisible, and there is a deal of current gossip about the "sulking Achilles." THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN. Proceedings of the National Committee in New Y1ork Last Night. NEW YoRK, July 11.-The Republican National Committee tonight oh cted M. S. Quay, of Pennsylvania, chairman, and J. S. Fassett, of New York, secretary. The chairman and secretary elected were also appointed to hold the same offices on the executive committee. The executive committee was chosen as follows: M. H. DeYoung of California, Samuel Fessenden Connecticut, George R. Davis Illinois; John C. New Indiana, J. S. Clarkson Iowa; W. C. Goodloe Ken tcky, J. Manchester Haynes Maine, Gay rett A. Hobart New Jersey, A. L. Conger Ohio. When the names of the executive com mittee were submitted there were mani festations of disapproval from the Southern members, who discovered the fact at once that Goodloe was the only representative of the Southern States. Thomas H. Cavanaugh, of Washington Territory, made a speech claiming the right of the Southern States to a better rep resentation on the executive committee. His sentiments were echoed by James D. Brady, of Virginia, and H. B. S. Pinch back, of Louisiana. After a long debate the names sulbmitted by the committee were adopted as members of the executive comimittee. The 5th sec tion, which related to the appointment of sub-committees to have charge of the cam paign in the Pacific States and Territories, was next discussed, and the whole matter was finally left withe the executive com mittee to act upon. Mr. Goodloe offered a resolution endors ing the Republican League organization, which was adopted, as was also one by Mr. Payne concerning the organization of wo men's Republican clubs to support the Re publican candidates. The executive committee will hold its first meeting tomorrow at the Fith Avenue Hotel. It was midnight when the meeting adjourned sine die. Willng to Kiss Mayor Hewitt. NEW YoRKx, July 8.-Since Mayor Hewitt has shown a desire to outdo the great American osculator, Gen. W. Te cumseh Sherman, no opportunity is lost by a New Yorker to give him a chance to gratify his new fad. A colored woman, fully six feet tall, as broad as a hogshead and as black as the famed ace of spades, called at the police headquarters today. She met Sergeant James K. Price, Inspect 3r Williams' right bower. She put her big, hubby fore6nger on the edges of a little buttonhole in his uniform coat and asked n a stage whisper how much it would cost to get married. The genial little sergeant o(ked up at the woman in surprise, but he did not notice the effect of her query. "Mr. Sam Washington Clinton have won my affections," she continued in a confi lential vein, "and as he is poor I want to know how much it will cost." The ser geant told her that marriages wei e not per ormed at police headquarters, but if she would call upon Mayor Hewitt at City Hall ie would be mo're than pleased to tie the tnot. With a very solemn face the ser leant said that the Mayor always kissed the ride. A few days ago he had married a luke to an American heiress, and all he isked was a kiss, and he thought the Mayor would perform the ceremony for her at the sme price. The big colored Voman went iway smiling from ear to ear, saying that ie would give Mayor Hewitt "as many risses as de gemman wants, sah." It is a waste of time to look back at one's >wn mistakes when there is so much more un in watching the mistakes of other TUMBLED THROUH THE TRESTLE. Terrible Accident on the Virginia Midland Railroad. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., July 12.-Ex press train No. 52 left Orange C. H., south bound, this morning at 1.50, with Con ductor C. P. Taylor, Engineer Watkins and Fireman Kelly. Two miles south (,f Orange is a trestle, forty-eight feet high, which was known to be weak, and the railroad c:ompauy was engaged in filling it in. The train was moving at a speed of six miles an hour crossing the trestle. The engine had passed safely over most of the trestle when the smoker, mail, baggage and express cars went down with a crash, drag ging down the engine and tender and two passenger coaches. Two sleepers remained standing ou the trestle. The engine went down pilot end foremost, thus communi cating no tire to the wreck. All the lights were extinguished in the fall. As soon as the accident occurred. the en gineer, who was but slightly injured, walked back to Orange and telegraphed for assistance. Dr. W. C. N. Randolph and other physicians left here on a special train for the wreck. The dead and some of the wounded were taken to Orange, while the more seriously hurt were brought to Charlottesville and placed in the Cottage Hospital, hotels and homes of friends. As far as can now be ascertained five were killed. C. Cox, of Alexandria, Va., of the engineering department of the Pied mont Air Line, was instantly killed; H. T. Whittington, Greensboro, N. C., postal clerk, died in ten minutes; H. C. Bright well, Prospect, Va., postal clerk, died after reaching the hospital; C. Coxe, Alexandria, killed; Eddie Smith, newsboy, killed; a young white woman, supposed to be Annie Brown of Philadelphia, killed; Charles Francis, supposed to be from Baltimore, killed;- an unknown Itailian was killed; Dr. R. S. Torrence, Black's, S. C., killed; S. G. Cortes, New Orleans, killed; Wish ard Hunter, Scotland. slightly injured; J. P. Wall, West Virginia, bruised; John Lanslow, England, arm badly bruised; D. V. Greelish, Augusta, Gil., shoulder dislo cated; Mrs. Stckert, broken shoulder; - Jones, Chatham county, Virginia, slight injuries; W. D. Parrott, . . narle county, Virginia, postal clerk, V4dly injured; John Q. West and J. L. Walthall, of Washington, D. C., postal clerks, badly injured; Louis Jenkins, Lynchburg, Va., postal clerk, slightly injured; - Potter field, press agent, seriously injured; Z. Jennings, Lynchburg, Va., passenger, in ternal injuries; Capt. C. P. Taylor, Alex andria, Va., badly hurt. The number of injured are estimated to be about twenty five. The accident was due to an advanced stage of decay of trestle timbers. The -coroner's jury declared that the disaster was due to no other cause. Wrecking trains have been at work all day, and it is be lieved that all the bodies have not been re covered. The debris will not be removed and the bridge replaced under several days. Trains will go by way of Gordonsville to Charlottesville for the present. WASHINGTON, July 12.-0. A. Nichol son, of Baltimore, one of the survivors of the accident, has arrived here and relates his experience as follows: "It was a horrible thing, and it is a mir acle how any one who went down in that terrible fall escaped. It was in the dead of night, and we had started across the bridge when it suddenly gave away. The engine had reached the other side, but it was pulkd back by the falling baggage car and fell on top. The mail car was knocked out of recognition and the smoker was totally demolished. I was in the sleeper that went down. I don't know how I es caped. When I was awakened, I looked out and found the car hoisted in the air, resting on the remains of cars below. The coupling connecting us with the other sleepers had given away, and they re mained on the track. We went to work as~ soon as possible, though it was pitch dark, and did our best to rescue the injured. The scene that followed was of indescribable horror. The shrieks and moans of the in jured, the shouts of wildly excited passen gers and the hissing of steam was terrible to hear. The passenger cars were crushed out of all shape, while the sleeper was held high in the air by the ruins of the broken coaches A little stream runs under the trestle and recent rains had swollen it to far beyond its wonted proportions. It is feared some were pinioned below its sur face and perished in its waters." "How many rooms in your new house, my dear?" inquired a good old-fashioned mother of her daughter, who had just ac quired a new home. ''Ten apartments reception -room, drawing-room, dining room, larder, cuisine, lavatory, and four chambers, besides the attic and furnace room," was the reply., "Dear me, how your father gets things mixed!" exclaimed the old lady. "He told me after he bought the house that there was a parlor, sitting room, dining room, pantry, kitchen, bath~ room, four bedrooms, a cellar anda garret." PHILADELPHIA SINGER.
